This
compilation of Regimental Marches and Songs as well as original battle sound
effects was digitally re-mastered from original recordings. It is the result of lengthy searching, the goodwill of
collectors and a pride in the legacy that the Rhodesian Forces
left to the world. It is a
tribute in sound to the men and women of all races who
committed themselves to the cause of history, many of whom
paid the supreme price in defence of their beliefs

It contains
several ORIGINAL tracks never before available
until this CD
compilation

A Listener Comments

Quality wise, the disc is excellent. In terms of its
content, it's what I was looking for - it's wonderful that
so many of the Rhodesian military marches and parade
cadences and so on have been recorded. While I never
experienced Rhodesia myself (though my parents did), these
discs, DVDs and many books ensure that Rhodesia and the
people who fought to make her the beacon of democracy and
civilisation in Africa that she was, will never be forgotten.
Keep up the great work!

Forces
Represented

British
South Africa Police

The BSAP was formed from the
British South Africa Company Police and saw the light of day
in 1897. It was accorded regimental status as Rhodesia's first
line of defence in these early and turbulent times. The BSAP
grew from strength to strength and was an integral part of the
history of Rhodesia itself

Rhodesian
African Rifles

The RAR was
raised as 1 Rhodesian Native Regiment for service in
Tanganyika in World War One. In World War 2 the regiment was
reraised as the Rhodesian African Rifles and saw extensive
service in Burma where it was very successful against the
Japanese. In 1956 the RAR deployed to Malaya and once again
proved its mettle in combat. It formed part of the fireforce
concept during the Rhodesian War and served throughout the
country as an Infantry Regiment

Rhodesian
Corps of Signals

The Rhodesian
Corps of Signals band formed part of the corps and was another
very important part of ceremonial activities within the
Rhodesian Army. The corps itself was responsible for the
provision of communications throughout the army and was
originally raised as No 1 Signals Company during World War
Two. The band wore a distinctive white Busby on certain
ceremonial occasions, making them stand out on parade

Rhodesian
Light Infantry

The 1st
Battalion RLI was established in 1961 as a result of the need
for a regular infantry battalion to defend the Federal borders.
The RLI quickly gained an excellent reputation as a fighting
unit and when it converted to a commando style of operation, this reputation
increased. Prime Minister Ian Smith rightly toasted them
'The Incredibles' due to their operational
successes in the field

Rhodesian
Special Air Service

The SAS was
Rhodesia's elite special force regiment and first saw the light of day when
Rhodesians served with distinction during the Second World War
as part of the British SAS in the desert and in Italy. In 1961
the SAS was reformed in Northern Rhodesia and then transferred
to Salisbury. C Squadron, Rhodesian SAS saw service in Aden thereafter
and during Rhodesia's bush war accounted for many of the enemy
on operations in Mozambique, Zambia and at home

Selous
Scouts

General Walls
requested the formation of an elite tracking unit in 1974 and
thus the Selous Scouts was born. Lt Col Ron Reid Daly was the
founder of the unit and took it from establishment to maturity.
The unit used a variety of Special Force tactics and were
famous for their role in 'Pseudo Operations'. The Selous Scouts accounted for many of the enemy in the ongoing
bush war, working closely with the RLI, the SAS and the BSAP Special
Branch

Rhodesia
Regiment

The Rhodesia
Regiment is synonymous with the history of the country itself.
It was originally raised in the 1890s to defend the population
of new
country against rebel forces and continued to serve the
nation and the crown through both world wars. Most Rhodesians
did their National Service in the Regiment and battalions and
independent companies were deployed throughout Rhodesia during
the war

Rhodesian
Air Force

The birth of
the RRAF was at Belvedere airport in Salisbury in 1935 when a
Territorial Reserve Air Unit was formed and pilot training on
Tiger Moths commenced. The RhAF developed after the second
world war and finally
consisted of 8 squadrons by the end of the bush war. It
accounted for many of the enemy, the 'Green Leader'
operational sortie
into Zambia being one of the more famous
